Paper finds pilot's secret past

Today, the Austin American-Statesman ran a second article about an 81-year old female pilot who they had featured in story last week. After the feature story ran, they were tipped off that the woman had once been convicted of murdering her six year-old son! Here’s the paper’s editorial about why they do background checks and why this information didn't show up originally. Like the woman says, everyone has skeletons in their closet, but I have to say that killing a child is not something I find easy to forgive. There are some mistakes that don’t ever need to come out of the closet, but murder isn’t one of them.
